Overview:
No matter how good we might be at meeting budgets and manipulating Gantt charts, successful project
management simply does not take place in a vacuum. So much depends on how well we interact with
other team members and stakeholders. This 2-day workshop employs self-assessments, developmental
plans, practical exercises and other proven techniques to instill the ‘soft’ but critical competencies of
project management. By mastering important people skills like managing stress, inspiring motivation,
creating alliances, reconciling different work styles and maintaining self-confidence amidst criticism and
setbacks, students will greatly increase their chances of managing any project to a successful outcome.
